You will find with the cheaper poles you are better not fully extending any of the sections. This does reduce the overall length so get one longer than you actually need.

25 ft pole will easy do it, i get my poles from gardiners and brodex they both have a good range of poles so it depends which pole suits you.

I would suggest this pole too.  I had some reservations at first but the longer I use it the more I like it.  The light weight helps me work faster too on maintenance cleans.
